Annual Business Meeting:
All are welcome to attend our annual business meeting, where nominations are
finalized for the next year's Management Committee. In addition, proposals for
Bylaw changes, peak additions and deletions and other matters on which members
will vote are discussed and votes are taken on whether to put them on the
ballot. The business meeting follows the monthly Management Committee
meeting. Join us at 6:30 PM for the management meeting; 7 PM for the
business meeting.
We are meeting at the Ranger House in Griffith Park.
Directions:
The Ranger House is located south of Los Feliz Blvd on the east side of
Riverside Drive. It shares a large parking lot with Friendship Auditorium.
From Los Feliz Blvd head south on Riverside Drive, past the soccer fields on
your left to Friendship Auditorium. (Friendship Auditorium is white and the
side facing Riverside Drive is a series of arches.) The entrance immediately in
front of Friendship Auditorium may be the only entrance open to the parking
lot. Enter here and proceed to the north end of the parking lot. The Ranger
House is a smaller facility located in the extreme north end of the parking
lot. The parking lot may be quite busy. Friendship Auditorium is heavily used by
large groups. Do not despair: Sufficient parking spaces have been set aside for
our use. But to be safe please arrive by 6:30 PM.
Do not confuse the Ranger House with the Ranger Station Visitor Center commonly
used by the Sierra Club for various functions.

Monthly HPS Management Committee Meeting:
All are welcome to attend our bi-monthly management committee meeting to
discuss the business side of the section and upcoming activities (including our
banquet in January). All are welcome to join us and opportunities to become
involved are available. The meeting begins at 7PM
and the December meeting will be at
Ranger House, at Griffith Park.
To have items added to the agenda or to volunteer, please contact Chair:
WAYNE VOLLAIRE
Directions:
The Ranger House is located south of Los Feliz Blvd on the east side of
Riverside Drive. It shares a large parking lot with Friendship Auditorium.
From Los Feliz Blvd head south on Riverside Drive, past the soccer fields on
your left to Friendship Auditorium. (Friendship Auditorium is white and the
side facing Riverside Drive is a series of arches.) The entrance immediately in
front of Friendship Auditorium may be the only entrance open to the parking
lot. Enter here and proceed to the north end of the parking lot. The Ranger
House is a smaller facility located in the extreme north end of the parking
lot. The parking lot may be quite busy. Friendship Auditorium is heavily used by
large groups. Do not despair: Sufficient parking spaces have been set aside for
our use. But to be safe please arrive by 6:30 PM.
Do not confuse the Ranger House with the Ranger Station Visitor Center commonly
used by the Sierra Club for various functions.
